The more he speaks on the labor dispute publicly, the more chances there are for someone to realize that his pure existence is an example of player/coach contact during the lockout.

Some people have such an irrational dislike of him and it is embarrassing for them. Grow up.

Problem is,,your still pretending to be somebody else.
And you already used that moronic line twice before.
Now you can go back and play with your Star Wars figures.

Engage brain before opening mouth.

Even Brady mentions about how it was important to him because past players like Boomer have stood their grounds.

But yeah, Manning might really be protecting his marketability. It’s better to avoid questions about the topic if that is his reason.

My son used to play games like that. He’d pretend to be Luke Skywalker and I’d pretend to be Darth Vader and we’d have a conversation.

Of course, he was seven years old. What’s your excuse?

He says something, people get angry. He doesn’t say anything, people get angry.

He holds open player practices, he’s playing to the cameras and the media. He does it in secretive, people ask why he’s hiding it.

The guy can’t win with some of you guys. I realize haters gotta hate, but seriously.

“I love how the bitter and whiny player haters here have it both ways.”

LMAO
Kind of the like the players negotiating(legal) strategy huh?

Pot, meet black kettle

Just saying…

Probably one of the most selfish greedy pigs ever… wait till he eats up 30-40% of your annual cap with his new deal

then he will complain about getting sacked 60 times this year

I love how the bitter and whiny player haters here have it both ways.

A. When Manning is quiet, he’s a bad guy for being unwilling to explain his position.

B. If Manning speaks he’s “publicly posturing” and “needs to shut up”.

If your gonna file an emergency claim in court that if the Judges don’t lift the lockout ASAP then the players would be so devastingly harmed, and then you don’t even show up for any of the hearings says a lot about these players

I agree that in principle players who felt strongly enough to have their names on the suit should say SOMETHING…even if it’s sort of neutral. Brady has said recently that there needs to be compromise but nothing much beyond that.

Much as I think Brees is coming off as a tad bit pugilistic with his comments and I don’t like his tone much of the time in regards to that, I give him credit for speaking out very vehemently to back his name on the suit.

But if he’s actually right, then that does tend to put a bit of a pin through the idea that this whole mess is solely about the greed of the owners…
